Mabhanzi with an Orange glaze...Golden Twist Bun. Mother's day afternoon tea.  I baked an all time family favourite and enjoyed them with a cup of rooibos.  The golden colour is achieved by using a small amount of turmeric, in powder form or fresh ro
Scrambled egg whites,  smoked and smashed avocado on some homemade fruit, nut and seed bread. The egg whites  were left over from my mother's day bakes. Do not throw egg whites away, you can make soup, meringue or omelettes. They are light and fillin
Pumpkin leaves looking rather lovely...Did you know pumpkin leaves are edible?
They are high in vitamin A and C. These can be cooked in a similar fashion to any leafy green and have a similar texture to cooked nettle.  Perfect addition to curries. I
I have been busy with assignments, preparing to start my internship in a few weeks and focusing my energy on absorbing as much as I can from wise and generous people who know far more than I do. 
Here are some beetroot, Nyevhe ( African spider plant)
The broad beans were dying to get out....soon they will be crushed, seasoned with sea salt, lemon zest & juice ,olive oil and spread on some homemade fruit and nut bread! Perhaps I will add some pine nuts and parmesan. YUMMY...nothing beats fresh
Who needs a dibber when a cooking stick will do just fine. My mother brought this stick from Zimbabwe but it is way too big, we  do not cook sadza portions large enough to warrant using a stick this size. Finally I have the perfect job for it.

Fruit Friday...Figs from a neighbour, when you grow your own you become part of a generous wider community. Food sharing/swap is a fantastic way to enjoy produce you do not grow in your garde or share with those without growing spaces.

Hello, My name is Otilia…

I am Otilia Tariro Manungo, I am on a mission to make holistic health practices the new normal. I believe there is more to health than weight management.

I am a Cook, Certified Integrative Nutrition Holistic Health Coach and currently undertaking a BSc in Agriculture. It is my intention to use my agricultural knowledge to bring people back into kitchens in order to tackle food-related health issues. Health is about searching beyond the plate to form a spiritual and emotional connection with food, it is crucial that we stay connected to the essence of food by looking to nature and the ways in which our food is produced.

Healthy living is delicious if you know how to cook and use food as the foundation for self-discovery and development.
